Note:
drawunif(X;A;B) will not work correctly when selections or links with
expansion (expand="1") are used. In such cases,
draw_unif(X;A;B) should be used instead. See draw_unif(X;A;B) as well as <sel> and <link> for
more information.Example
<base table="default.lonely"/> <colord hide="c1"/> <willbe name="unif_int" value="drawunif(4892;0;1)"/> <willbe name="unif_dec" value="drawunif(4892;7.5;10)"/>
